FA-200 Series Installation and Operation Manua
Introduction
About this ManualThis installation and operation manual provides information on installing and operating the FA-200 Microprocessor
Based Fire Alarm Control Panel.
About the FA-200Mircom's FA-200 Fire Alarm Control Panels provide 1, 2, 4, or 8 supervised Class B (ULI Style B) Initiating Circuits
or 1, 2, 4 supervised Class A (ULI Style D) Initiating Circuits, and 2 or 4 supervised Class A or B (ULI Style Z or Y)
Indicating Circuits. All Circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and Indicating Circuits for shorts.
Optional Modules include a DM-204 Zone Adder (required for full capacity in the FA-204E only), a DACT-100A
Dialler or a PR-100 Polarity Reversal & City Tie Module, and RM-204 or RM-208 Relay Modules. The two
enclosures are flush or surface mountable, and can be used for retrofits and on new installations.
Overall Features:• The small enclosure versions, FA-201, FA-202, & FA-204, have 1, 2, 4 Class B (Style B) initiating circuits
respectively. The FA-202 & FA-204 may be configured as 1 or 2 Class A (Style D) Circuits respectively. These
also have 2 Power Limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y) indicating circuits with individual trouble indicators.
• The large enclosure version, FA-204E, has four Class B (Style B) initiating circuits which may be configured as
two Class A (Style D) circuits respectively. It also has two power limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y) indicating circuitswith individual trouble indicators. With a DM-204 Zone Adder Module, an extra four Class B (2 Class A)
initiating circuits, and two Class A/B indicating circuits are added.
• Each initiating circuit is configurable as a normal or verified alarm. In addition, on a Class B FA-204 or fa-204e
Initiating Circuit three may be a Waterflow Zone (as may Initiating Circuit 7 if a DM-204 is installed), and
initiating circuit four may be a latched or non-latched supervisory zone (as may initiating circuit eight if a DM-
204 is installed). On a Class A FA-204E with a DM-204, initiating circuit three may be a waterflow zone and
initiating circuit four may be a latched or non-latched supervisory zone.
• Indicating circuits can be configured as audible or visual and as silenceable or non-silenceable. Audibles may
be steady, temporal code, california code, or march time.
• Initiating circuits may be individually disconnected by a slide-switch.
• Configurable signal silence inhibit (disabled or 1 minute), auto signal silence (disabled or 5, 10, 20 minutes),
and one-man walk test.
• Subsequent alarm, supervisory, and trouble operation.
• Four-wire resettable smoke power supply (200 mA max.).
• Auxiliary relay contacts for common alarm and common supervisory (disconnectable), and a common trouble
relay. If no Supervisory zones are configured then the common supervisory relay can be used as an extra
common alarm relay.
• Interface for an RTI Remote Trouble Indicator.
• RS-485 Interface for 1 to 3 of RAM-208 Remote Multiplex Annunciators on FA-204 & FA-204E.
• The FA-201, FA-202, FA-204 may use one of optional DACT-100A (Dialler), PR-100 (City Tie), RM-204 or RM
208 Relay Modules.
• The FA-204E may use one of optional DACT-100A (Dialler), PR-100 (City Tie), and one of
RM-204 or RM-208 Relay Modules.
• Slide Switch controls and LED Common indicators.
• Easy configuration via DIP switches.
• Extensive transient protection.

Circuits and Zones
The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, initiating (detection), indicating (signal), or relay.
The term zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit.
Often the terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit is used.
Wiring Styles
Initiating circuits are configured by default as Class B (Style B). They may be globally (all or none) configured as
Class A (Style D) as described in System Configuration on page 28. This operation uses odd and even pairs of two-
wire Class B (Style B) circuits to make one four-wire Class A (Style D) circuit, thus cutting in half the number of
available initiating circuits.
Indicating circuits may be individually wired as Class A (Style Z) or Class B (Style Y) without affecting the number
of circuits available (see Field Wiring on page 12).

Supervisory Relay by removing
the jumper from JW1 to JW1A,
etc. These jumpers have two
positions to select Alarm or
Supervisory each.
• JW1A: Alarm or supervisory control for Relay #1.
• JW2A: Alarm or supervisory control for Relay #2.
• JW8A: Alarm or supervisory control for Relay #8.
Finally, there are jumpers JW1.2, JW2.3, up to JW7.8 that allow a relay to have the same control as an adjacent
relay. For example, starting with the factory default setting, moving the jumper from JW2 to JW1.2 will make both
relays 1 & 2 operate with Initiating Circuit #1.Contact Mircom Technical Support for assistance if required.
Note: The Class A/B
selection affects all
initiating circuits, and
must be used with the
correct Configuration
DIP switch setting.

General Field Wiring Considerations
Because most of the Field Wiring on the FA-200’s is to the Main Boards on the swinging dead front, it is very
important to properly dress the wires so as not to place stress on either their connection to the boards, or running to
conduit. The Figure below shows the required wiring techniques.

System Checkout
Before Turning The Power On...
1. To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the
main AC supply.
2. Check that all modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections.3. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground.
4. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged-in properly.
5. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting.
6. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection.
7. Check that the chassis is connected to Earth Ground (cold water pipe).
8. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply.
Power-up Procedure
1. After completing the System Checkout procedures, power-up the panel. The "AC-ON" green LED should illu-
minate, the “Common Trouble” LED should illuminate, and the buzzer should sound.
2. Press the System Reset button. Since the batteries are not connected, the "Battery Trouble" LED shouldilluminate, and the buzzer should sound intermittently, and the Common Trouble LED should flash.
3. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity; the red wire is positive (+) and black wire is negative (-)
All indicators should extinguish except for normal power "AC-ON" green LED.
4. Configure the fire alarm control panel as described in the System Configuration section on page 28.
Troubleshooting
Message Description
Circuit Trouble
Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be illuminated,
as well as the Common Trouble indicator and Trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check for
open wiring on that particular circuit loop or see if the circuit disconnect switch is in the ON
or CLOSED position. Note: disconnecting a circuit will cause a system trouble (off-normal
position).
Remote FailThe panel will display a Remote Fail for any failure reported by, or failure to communicate
with a remote annunciator, DACT-100A, or PR-100.
Ground FaultThe FA-200 panel has a Common Ground Fault Detector. To correct the fault, check for any
external wiring touching the chassis or other earth ground connection.
Battery Trouble
Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V) will
cause a battery trouble. If battery trouble condition persists, replace the batteries as soon
as possible.

Indicators
Buzzer
The buzzer is activated by any of the following:
• Fire alarm: steady
• Supervisory alarm: steady
• Trouble: trouble flash rate
If the buzzer turns on in response to a non-latching trouble or supervisory, it will be turned off if the condition causing
it goes away and there is no other reason for it to be on.
AC On LED
The green AC On LED illuminates steadily while the main AC power is within acceptable levels. It turns off when thelevel falls below the power-fail threshold and the panel switches to standby (battery) power.
Common Alarm LED
The Common Alarm indicator turns on steady red whenever the panel is in alarm as a result of an alarm on any
initiating circuit. Since all alarms are latched until the panel is reset, the indicator will remain on until reset.

Common Supervisory LED (FA-204 or FA-204E only)
The amber Common Supervisory LED illuminates steadily when there is a supervisory alarm in the panel resulting
from any latching or non-latching supervisory circuit. The LED turns off if all non-latching supervisory circuits are
restored and there are no active latching supervisory circuits. Latching supervisory alarms remain active until the
panel is reset.
Common Trouble LED
The Common Trouble indicator flashes amber (at 20 flashes per minute) when the panel detects any trouble
condition. It turns off when all non-latching troubles are cleared.
Remote Trouble LED (FA-204 or FA-204E only)
The Remote Failure indicator illuminates amber if the panel detects trouble at a city tie or dialler module, or
communication or local trouble with a remote annunciator. It turns off once these conditions return to normal.
Fire Drill LED
The amber Fire Drill LED illuminates steadily while fire drill is active.
Auxiliary Disconnect LED
The Auxiliary Disconnect Indicator flashes amber (20 flashes per minute) when the Auxiliary Disconnect switch is
activated. It turns off when the switch is activated a second time. When on, the Auxiliary Disconnect LED indicates
that common alarm and common supervisory relays, and any RM-204 / RM-208 relays are not activated. The
trouble relay is activated. If installed, dialler or polarity reversal and city tie modules are also inactive, causing a
trouble condition.
Signal Silence LED
The amber Signal Silence LED flashes at the trouble flash rate when indication circuits are silenced either by the
Signal Silence button or by the Auto Signal Silence timer. It turns off when the signals are re-sounded by a
subsequent alarm.
Battery Trouble LED
The Battery Trouble LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate when the battery is either low (below 20.4 VDC) or
disconnected.
Ground Fault LEDThe Ground Fault LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate when the Ground Fault Detector detects a ground
fault on any field wiring. It turns off when the ground fault is cleared.
Test LED
The Test LED illuminates amber when the fire alarm panel is in walk test mode.
Circuit Status LEDs
These LEDs indicate the status of initiating circuits. They illuminate
• Alarm: Steady red
• Alarm Verification or waterflow retard in progress: fast flashing red (120 flashes per minute)
• Pending Alarm: (see Circuit Disconnect Switches on the following page) fast flashing red (120 flashes per
minute)• Supervisory: Steady amber
Circuit Trouble LEDs
These LEDs indicate trouble for initiating and indicating circuits. They flash (20 flashes per minute) for any field
wiring fault, or if the circuit has been disconnected.

Indicators, Controls, & Operation
24
Controls
System Reset Switch
The System Reset momentary switch resets the fire alarm control panel and all circuits:
Signal Silence Switch
Activating the Signal Silence momentary switch when the panel is in alarm turns on the signal silence indicator and
deactivates any silenceable indicating circuits. Non-silenceable circuits are unaffected. Signals will re-sound upon
any subsequent alarm. This switch does not function during any configured Signal Silence Inhibit timer period. It
also does not function if the indicating circuits are active as the result of a fire drill.
Fire Drill Switch
The Fire Drill momentary switch activates all non-disconnected indicating circuits, but does not transmit any alarms
via the dialler, city tie, or common alarm relay, nor are any RM-204 or RM-208 relays activated. The fire drill iscancelled by activating the switch again, or if the panel goes into a real alarm.
Auxiliary Disconnect Switch
Activating the Auxiliary Disconnect momentary switch activates the auxiliary disconnect function. Activating the
switch again de-activates the function. When auxiliary disconnect is active, common alarm and common
supervisory relays, and any RM-204 / RM-208 relays are not activated. The trouble relay is activated. If installed,
dialler or polarity reversal and city tie modules are also inactive, causing a trouble condition.
Lamp Test Switch
Activation of the Lamp Test momentary switch turns all front panel Indicators and the buzzer on.
Buzzer Silence Switch
Activation of the Buzzer Silence momentary switch while the Buzzer is sounding silences the Buzzer. The Buzzer
will resound if there is a subsequent event. Switch activation will also silence the buzzer on all attached
annunciators.
Circuit Disconnect Switches
Activation of these non-momentary switches disconnects the respective Initiating Circuit, and causes a Circuit
Trouble for that Initiating Circuit while active. If the disconnect switch is turned off (to its normal position) while there
is an Alarm condition in that circuit, the respective circuit Status LED will flash at a rate of 120 flashes per minute to
indicate a Pending Alarm, for 5 seconds. If the disconnect switch is not turned back on, an Alarm will be processed
normally.

Operation
All alarm inputs are treated in a similar manner. Alarm inputs include non-verified or verified alarms, and water-flow
alarms. Activation of any alarm input when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:
• The buzzer sounds steadily
• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled
• The Common Alarm indicator turns on
• the common alarm relay activates if aux disconnect is not active• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts
• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts
• RM-204 / RM-208 relays are activated as configured, provided that aux disconnect is not active
• Signals and strobes are activated
Subsequent Alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:
• The buzzer sounds steadily
• If signals have been silenced as a result of the signal silence button or the auto signal silence timer, signals are
resounded as they were before signal silence, the signal silence indicator is turned off, and the auto signal
silence timer, if configured, is restarted
• Signals and strobes are activated
Circuit Types
The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, either initiating (detection) or indicating (signal). The term
zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit. Often the terms zone
and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit is used.

Initiating (Detection) Circuit Types
Circuit Type Description
Non-Verified Alarm
This is a "normal" type of alarm which may have pull stations, smoke detectors, or heat
detectors attached. Any activation of these devices will immediately result in an alarm condition
in the fire alarm control panel. An alarm condition causes the associated circuit Status LED and
the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
Verified Alarm
These alarms are verified by a reset and timing procedure, and may have pull stations, smoke
detectors, or heat detectors attached. Any activation of pull stations or heat detectors will result
in an alarm condition in the fire alarm control panel within four seconds. Smoke detectors will
be verified for a real alarm within 60 seconds depending upon the startup time of the smoke
detectors being used. If four seconds is too long a response time for pull stations, then they
should be wired separately on a non-verified alarm circuit. An alarm condition causes the
associated circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
Water-Flow Alarm
An alarm for water-flow sensors. These alarms are identical to normal non-verified alarms
except that any indicating circuits programmed to these circuits (all are by default) are non-
silenceable. Also, if water-flow retard operation is enabled, then these circuits are sampled
every one second; if ten samples are active within any 15 second interval, the water-flow alarm
is confirmed and processed. An alarm condition causes the associated circuit Status LED andthe Common Alarm LED to illuminate red. Note: Do not use the retard operation with any
external retarding device; maximum retard may not exceed 120 seconds.
Non-Latching
Supervisory
These alarms are for supervisory devices. An activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit
Status LED and the Common Supervisory LED to illuminate amber. The buzzer will sound
continuously. If the circuit activation is removed, the supervisory condition will clear (so long as
there are no other supervisory conditions in the system) and the circuit Status LED will
extinguish.
Latching
Supervisory
These alarms are for supervisory devices. An activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit
Status LED and the Common Supervisory LED to illuminate amber. The buzzer will sound
continuously. If the circuit activation is removed, the Supervisory condition will not clear.

When configuring the FA-200 main board, keep in mind the following information:
• Only indicating circuit two may be configured for visual devices.
• If initiating circuit three is configured as waterflow, the corresponding verified selection becomes a retard
selection.
• If initiating circuit four is configured as alarm, the corresponding latching selection has no effect.
• If initiating circuit four is configured as supervisory, the corresponding verified selection has no effect.
• The selection of Class A/B (Style Z/Y) indicating circuits is only a matter of how they are wired. See connection
information on page 13 .
• If Class A (Style D) initiating circuits are selected (FA-202, FA-204, FA-204E only), the appropriate board
jumpers must also be set. Class B initiating circuits one and two combine to create Class A Circuit #1, and Class
B initiating circuits three and four combine to create Class A Circuit #2. DIP switches for circuits three and four
are ignored except for an FA-204E with a DM-204 Adder Module. LED indicators for circuits three and four are
non-functional except for an FA-204E with a DM-204 Adder Module.

Walk Test Operation
32
Walk Test Operation
A walk test allows an installer to verify the Initiating Circuit wiring in a system. To enter walk test, press and hold both
the Buzzer Silence and Lamp Test momentary switches for at least one second. You can identify circuits to be tested
using the Circuit Disconnect slide switches. Activation of any initiating circuit that has been selected for the walk test
will cause the audible indicating circuits to activate briefly for a number of short bursts corresponding to the circuit
number. Any subsequent activations on the same initiating circuit will activate the audible indicating circuit onlyonce. If another initiating circuit is activated then the audible indicating circuits will activate for a number of short
bursts corresponding to the circuit number of the new zone being walk-tested, and so on.
For example, if Initiating Circuit #3 is first activated, the indication circuits will sound for three bursts. Any
subsequent activations of Initiating Circuit #3 will sound for one burst. The initial burst interval denoting the count of
the circuit number is one second on followed by 1/2 second off. The subsequent burst interval denoting additional
activations on the same initiating circuit is 1/2 second on then off. After the sounding pattern has been sent on the
indicating circuits, the initiating circuit is reset and tested again. If it is still active (in alarm) the pattern will be re-sent.
Trouble on any initiating circuit when in walk test mode causes all indicating circuits to be activated continuously for
five seconds.
Alarm verification and water-flow alarm retard operations are disabled on circuits being walk tested. All circuits not
selected for walk-test continue to function normally. The walk test operation is disabled if the fire alarm control panel
is in alarm or goes into alarm while walk-test is active. It will also time out after 60 minutes of no activity.
